    I have this exact problem when I have to manage Apple devices for work. Nothing that user agent switcher can’t fix.

      Pearson is a testing company. They use all sorts of sketchy shit under the guise of anti-cheating. Much of that requires specific plug-ins and stuff that only work in Windows.

      Even if you could get it working, but they’ll likely just say you were cheating, and take the $300+ you paid to take that required test.

        Pearson using all sorts of extremely invasive and questionable kernel-level access plugins to make sure people don’t open notes to cheat on their test on their computer. People just open their notes on another device. Or, you know, paper.
